Wallflower - Collaborative Print Exhibition, Townsville 2016

Wallflower was an Access and Vault Space exhibition at Umbrella Studio of Contemporary Arts, Townsville, 8 July - 14 August 2016 by Jo Lankester and Hannah Murray. The exhibition featured print collaborations that explore the symbolic and aesthetic qualities of abstracted patterns found on the outer layer of a tree trunk or the surface of rocks, and floral imagery.


 Wallflower is an extension of an ongoing print collaboration that explores the symbolic and aesthetic qualities of abstracted patterns found on the outer layer of a tree trunk or the surface of rocks, and floral imagery. As with any collaboration a symbiotic relationship must exist to coexist. Trees and rocks share a symbol of antiquity, immense and enduring strength, and protection. In contrast a flower is fugacious and fleeting. Wallflower will aim to present a seductive and resolved body of work that explores this contradiction.
